Manufacturing Engineering can be summarized in the following points: a. This project has demonstrated that the concept of a 2+2+2 program is an excellent approach to recruiting and retaining minority students into any technical program. b. The 2+2+2 program is considered as the best solution to the problem of academic remediation. The problem of remediation is a serious one in California. More than 60% of students admitted to the California State University system are in need of some form of remediation to remove deficiencies in their academic preparation. A 2+2+2 program offers an effective solution to the problem. Academic institutions

Objectretrieval is not a minimum requirement. Detection of the outside boundary is required. The robotmust support its own weight; no part of the object can be dragged except by design and withprior approval. For example wires, sensors, chassis, motors, etc. cannot touch the ground duringany part of the competition.The following areas earn points: Ingenious Mobility: Extra points for non-wheeled machines. Robot Construction: The judge will rate the quality of construction. Smallest Robot: This is the robot with the smallest footprint area as viewed from above. Largest

The class is a 3-credit hour class with 3 hours of lecture timeeach week. The typical semester lasts for about 15 weeks so the total instruction time is about 45hours. The evaluation of students consists of assignments, exams, and group projects. Theweekly assignment covers 20% of the total grade, and the exams and group computer projectscover 80% of the grade. The main objectives of the course are (a) To develop understanding of theoretical knowledge and formulations underlying CFD (b) To provide students with hands-on experience using a commercial CFD software The curriculum for the CFD course is therefore

A number of splittingtensile tests, uniaxial compression tests and single-edge-notched three-point-bend tests mustbe conducted in order to obtain the necessary data. The three test geometries and thequantities to be measured are portrayed in Figure 1. From the perspective of the student,the three different tests offer an opportunity to see the concrete fail under different modes.The splitting tensile test is purely a tensile strength based failure and is very abrupt. Thecylinder compression test is a compressive strength failure and occurs relatively

Many of these team skills arerelevant to and highly correlated with entrepreneurial behaviors. This paper addresses how theseinnovative, entrepreneurial traits were: a) identified and defined, b) integrated into the students’learning experience, and c) measured and correlated with team project outcomes.Engineering educators are focusing more on the identification
